Public meeting at Heritage Lodge Daintree to Discuss Hydrogen Grid

Last nights public meeting held at Heritage Lodge in the Daintree discussed and explained the proposed Hydrogen Micro Grid. It was was a big success and although it got a bit fiery at times it was mostly respectful and everyone in attendance got their thoughts across. It was fronted by Daintree Renewable Energy Pty Ltd spokesperson Russell O’Doherty, Federal MP Warren Entsch and Richard Schoenemann. Richard is the man who will carry out the last feasibility study on the project before it's shovel ready. The Feds through Warren Entsch have come up with almost a million dollars to carry out the study which is expected to conclude in July 2020. Also in the crowd listening intently was Douglas Shire Mayor Julia Leu and Councillor Michael Kerr.

A grant of $990,150 will go towards a feasibility study to allow Daintree Renewable Energy Pty Ltd to take the 100 per cent renewable microgrid project to ‘shovel ready’ status within 12 months. The feasibility study is being supported via the federal government’s $50 million Regional and Remote Communities Reliability Fund announced in this year’s budget Federal Leichhardt MP Warren Entsch says the proposed microgrid would reduce the World Heritage Area’s reliance on four million litres of diesel fuel per year to generate power. A public meeting to discuss this latest Federal Govt move will be held at 6.30 tonight (11/11) at Heritage lodge in the Daintree.
